About this property

Central location walk to town - Sleeps 10

'Deck 146' blends contemporary and relaxing decor to make an inviting home away from home. Across the road from the lake, yet just a ten minute stroll into Central Queenstown.

It is ideal for large groups planning on exploring the region. This property ticks all the boxes - the large garage is perfect for storing your bikes, clubs and has custom built racking for ski gear.

We use professional cleaners and hired linen to ensure our home is cleaned to the highest standards and COVID protocols.

Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away if required.

This house is on the dead-end street that connects to the Frankton walking/biking Track that connects to about 100km of other tracks. Perfect for biking trips.
It is literally a ten minute walk lakeside then through the botanical gardens into Central Queenstown with all the bars and restaurants. But, such a quiet spot to return to.

Apart from two lock-up cupboards, guests have full access to the house.

This is a great house with in fabulous location so close to town – just a 10 minute stroll along the lake and through the botanical gardens to Central Queenstown. There is heaps of space for everyone, but living space aplenty when it is time to gather together. Perfect for friends and family getaways as well as golfing, skiing & biking groups
The dining suite seats up to 8 guests with an additional couple of dining chairs available.

The top storey Master bedroom has breath-taking full-scale views of the Remarkables mountain range from the private deck. A tiled ensuite and walk-in wardrobe make this a sanctuary from the busy household below.

Bedroom 2 is on the living-area floor also includes a large tiled bathroom, walk-in dressing room.

The lower storey contains three Twin Single bedrooms (two sets of which can join up to make King beds). Two of these rooms open outside to share a balcony. The family/guest bathroom on this level has a bath and shower with separate toilet. There is also a separate toilet and laundry on this level.

Mid-level comprises the study area, fully equipped kitchen and powder room. There are two seating areas which is great when you are a bigger group or if you have kids with you. There is a 55" Panasonic Smart TV which also has a DVD player and SkyTV channels in the main lounge. The smaller 2nd lounge has a 32" Panasonic Smart TV which has a DVD player & a VHS player (for a bit of nostalgia). Both TV's are Netflix capable and we have a great range of DVD's & Videos for your use. The sound system includes and iPod/MP3 player. The house has good cellphone coverage and free WiFi internet.

For Winter warmth, tiled areas have underfloor heating, a gas-fire, electric heaters, heat-pump & electric blankets take care of the rest.

Ski Shuttles - the same.

The house had a make over in early April 2019 with new carpets, blinds and a fresh coat of paint inside and out - its made it even better than it already was.

There is construction happening just a few houses down from Deck 146

Note the house does have a lot of stairs so not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Ask us about the option of hiring a portable spa for your stay.

Wonderful family experience in Queenstown
Our accomodation was so perfect for extended family holiday. So much room for everyone to have their own space. We all felt so comfortable and at home in the amazing large lounge with fire place and spectacular views. Would highly recommend for size, comfort, views, great location with beautiful walk to town. Everything we needed was available and more. Communication with host exception ffrom first booking the property.

Perfection!!!
The house was amazing!! Our family appreciated the space to spread out after a week of traveling in close quarters. Also location can’t be beat! Beautiful walk to downtown. Deb was very responsive and helpful- we only had one question and she helped us immediately. Highly recommend!!

An excellent stay
My friends and I stayed here recently and it was an unforgettable experience. The spacious layout of the house allowed all 8 of us to have our own space, yet still connect and hang out in the common areas. The fireplace was a cozy and welcome touch, especially while looking over the lake and mountains - such a magical view! A short and scenic walk to town made it a convenient and also quiet location. Thank you to the hosts for providing us with an awesome experience. Will stay again next time we are in Queenstown!

The Ultimate experience
Overwhelmed is an understatement. Normally companies provide imagery that overstates the positive of that particular property - Not here! This house is simply stunning and immaculately presented in every detail. The furnishing are professionally positioned, yet not ostentatious or goudy. It is large in both the bedrooms and living areas. And the views...WOW! For a large family or extended family, this house is perfect in every detail. Even the Deck 146 team dropped in on the afternoon of arrival, just to make sure we were comfortable - 6 star service indeed! This accommodation is one of the best in Queenstown! You would be hard done to find better.

Quality Lakeside Accommodation
This is a fabulous house that can easily accommodate 10, although we were only 8. Its right on the lakefront, 15 minutes walking to town, and 45 minutes to Frankton marina on the track if you want a longer walk. We appreciated the two car garage (no scraping ice off the car windows in the mornings) and off street parking. It was warm, spacious and had spectacular views. Great for hosting friends and family,

WInter Ski Trip
Our group of 9 stayed in Deck146 for our annual ski trip. We've stayed in many different places over the years and this is certainly up there as one of the best. The house is extremely spacious, has beautiful views and is a short 10min walk into the centre of town along the lake. I would highly recommend this for large groups, the orientation of the bedrooms, 2 living spaces and several bathrooms means that it never felt overcrowded. Check in was straight forward and Deborah showed us everything around the house that we might need.

Fabulous accommodation with amazing views, close to town. Would highly recommend it.
This property was right on the lake with amazing views. We could stroll in to town in around 15 minutes. The house itself was spacious, warm and inviting. The beds were extremely comfortable and everything was immaculately clean. I would highly recommend this property as long as stairs weren't and issue, as there were a lot of them. We would love to stay there again

Fantastic House right on the Beach
We stayed for a fortnight at this very comfortable home. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best of weather so having a comfortable home was all the more important. We enjoyed walking down to the beach at all times of day or evening and in all weathers. Absolutely brilliant that it is so close for a 5 minute stroll or a couple of hours!

Perfect, magical, absolutely spot on. The location of Deck 146 could not be any better, right on the lake and easy 15 minute (flat) walk to the town centre. The property easily accommodated 7 people with plenty of room to spare. The deck was magnificent with outstanding views of the lake & mountain range. The house itself was not missing a thing, great entertainment facilities, clean BBQ, large kitchen and an Abundance of chill out zones. Cannot recommend this property highly enough
